Paul said: “The hotel has been making losses in recent years, they lost £500,000 last year so we need to make change as it is not sustainable without change. Their is significant potential here.

“We want to extend the leisure facilities and bring in some outdoor pursuits and some woodland lodges within the 22 acres that the hotel is situated in.

"There is a lovely lake in the grounds and there is a large grassed area so we are hoping to build a large function room with rooms above, and some landscaping around the lake and grounds in general.

"We have a good stretch of the river and some woodland so there is scope to achieve this.

“We hope to have submitted the plans by the end of March and hope to make a start next year if planning goes well. It will be a significant investment but this is a fantastic location. This will create additional jobs in the area and also bring in more tourists.”

Paul said: “There was never local trade so we have realigned the prices and broadened the menu introducing a new lounge menu, we want more local people to come enjoy the hotel lounges and facilities.

“We will have a wider selection of food which will all be home cooked and prepared with local Welsh dishes such as lamb cawl and bread. We will also be serving a Sunday lunch.”

Rowena said: “The prices tended to alienate the local community, it was a little over priced and we have aligned our prices to reflect the local market which makes them more realistic for local people.

“We have to make it sustainable and have to have support of local community to do that.”
